"Womansong: Balance and Harmony in a Feminine Key" is Gwen Suesse’s first-born book, nine years in gestation. In 2001, she began the focused work of converting years’ worth of journals into the book she felt was contained within them. Nine years later, in April 2010, she received the efforts of her labor – 2,000 copies of "Womansong." “Nine years off and on,” says Suesse, “for a book conceived more than three decades ago.” Suesse tells the story of the conception, during an evening when her first-born child, Jennifer, was about a year old. “At a party, I was asked, ‘What do you do?’ ‘I’m home with a baby,’ I replied, to which the inquisitor turned and began a conversation with another (Continued on page 3)

nated a volunteer effort involving law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency service personnel and rescue squad volunteers who will work on the project tomorrow night beginning at 7 p.m. Kan said tomorrow night’s effort is expecting to bring more than 30 volunteers and she is very thankful for the help.

Tom Williamson of Williamson’s Paint Center in Landrum reported seeing trains on the tracks in Landrum last Thursday afternoon - a rare sight since Norfolk-Southern stopped using the rail line running through Landrum and Tryon nearly ten years ago. The cars came all the way up to the track cut mound in Landrum across from Ayers. Rail workers said these were “research” cars that were checking track integrity up to that point. They said as far as they knew, Norfolk-Southern has no plans to begin using the lines again. (photos by Tom Williamson)

members a couple of months ago that the town needs to fix the uneven and dangerous sidewalk and offered to take on the project herself.

Excerpt from Rick Cooper’s new book, *Sacrifice*: High school teacher David Talbot's emotionally-troubled wife Amanda has kicked him out of their farmhouse. Sleep deprived, living in a rat hole apartment, separated from his two precious young daughters, he is about to lose his mind. David's troubles are compounded after his best friend Steven is killed in a mysterious car crash. When David begins to ask questions about the bizarre circumstances surrounding Stevens’ death, his own life and the lives of his children are threatened.

Columbus councilwoman Ernie Kan works on part of the brick sidewalk surrounding the courthouse in Columbus. Police officers, firefighters, rescue workers and other emergency personnel will join her for a work session on the sidewalks tomorrow evening at 7 p.m. The public is invited to join the group. (photo submitted)

As Suesse revels in the positive response her book is gleaning, she continues to schedule marketing opportunities and seek out prospective venues to talk about balance and harmony. Presently, she is booking signing and speaking events in North and South Carolina, Virginia, New York, Tennessee, California, Oregon, and Colorado during 2010. Suesse says she is open to going anywhere, and appreciates having expenses covered when possible. She’s also working on a second book. Its working title is "Solo: A Widow’s Journey."

She and several volunteers from the community have been working on the project since the first of June. They usually begin at 6:15 a.m. daily. Kan estimates that it will take a few more months to do the entire sidewalk. Suesse lost her beloved Jack in 2007 to a sudden, vicious illness. She has remained in Tryon and shares her home with Daisy, their spoiled Corgi. “For three years,” says Gwen, “I have been on an unexpected journey. After Jack died, I read everything I could find about loss and grief… and I wrote, because that’s what I do. We’ll see if the journals from the past three years hold a book within their pages.” Meanwhile, "Womansong" is available at The Book Shelf in Tryon and online at womansong.com. Suesse invites women everywhere to enjoy the book. “Then,” she says, "go out and have your turn.”

Gaston S&L merges with HomeTrust; Sunnydale sold HomeTrust Banking Partnership, parent company of Tryon Federal Bank, is getting another member. Cherryville Federal Savings and Loan will become the seventh member of the partnership, a group of mutual banks that have merged to share top management and support services. Gaston County-based Cherryville has one office, 13 employees and $101.4 million in assets. The merger, which officials expect regulators to approve in September, will bring the partnership to $1.7 billion in assets, 275 employees and 20 offices. HomeTrust said it will become the 13th largest bank based in North Carolina. Stan Allen, Cherryville’s president and CEO, said his bank is in good shape financially but decided to make the move because its small size made dealing with government regulation and packaging its mortgage loans for resale to investors more difficult. Mutual banks are owned by their depositors and many have traditionally focused on home mortgages. The HomeTrust Partnership began in 1996, although most of its member institutions predate World War II. It combines the resources of the member banks, which stretch from Haywood County east to Rockingham County, while allowing for local control.

Hot car deaths rise with temperatures It is shaping up to be a particularly deadly year for children dying from hyperthermia in hot cars. On average, 35 to 40 children across the country die from heat exposure in vehicles each year; there have already been at least 21 such deaths in 2010, with the most in the first six months of the year since researchers began collecting data on the subject in 1998. In the past five years, at least 10 children in North Carolina have died from hyperthermia after being trapped in hot vehicles. “These deaths are preventable,” said Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin, state chair of Safe Kids North Carolina. “A child should never be unattended in a car, for any length of time or at any time of year. We need to work to reverse this tragic trend.” With its soaring temperatures, July is historically the deadliest month for child fatalities in hot cars, but hyperthermia can occur even on days with mild 70 degree

temperatures. The temperature in a closed vehicle can rise about 20 degrees in 10 minutes and nearly 30 degrees in 20 minutes. Cracking a window has little effect. Safe Kids North Carolina offers these safety tips for all parents and caregivers: • Never leave a child alone in a vehicle. Check to make sure all children exit the vehicle when you reach your destination. • Lock the doors when your vehicle is parked. Teach children that cars are not places to play. • Busy parents have a lot of their minds, so give yourself a reminder. Place your purse, briefcase or other important items in the backseat next to your child’s car seat so you have to look in the back before leaving the car. • If you see a child or pet left unattended in a vehicle, call 911 immediately. • Check vehicles and trunks first if a child goes missing. – article submitted

N.C. Securities Division joins fight against elder investment fraud and abuse The North Carolina Secretary of State Securities Division is launching a new initiative to increase awareness among doctors and medical professionals of an under-recognized and underreported form of elder abuse: financial fraud. The initiative was announced recently in recognition of the annual June 15 observation of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. More than 7.3 million older Americans - one out of every five citizens over the age of 65 - already have been victimized by a financial swindle, according to a new national Investor Protection Trust survey. “Elder financial abuse is becoming the crime of the 21st century,” Secretary of State Elaine F. Marshall said recently. “The North Carolina Secretary of State Securities Division is committed to developing innovative partnerships and programs to help detect and fight the persistent problem of financial abuse among North Carolina’s seniors.” The division is joining forces with other state securities regulators, physicians and adult protective services workers to educate medical professionals and other caregivers about how to identify seniors who may be vulnerable

to financial abuse. Through this initiative, professionals who provide front-line elder care will learn how to refer at-risk seniors to the appropriate authorities; whether it is to report investment fraud to securities regulators, suspected abuse to adult protective services workers or symptoms of mild cognitive impairment to physicians. “Investment fraud against seniors too often goes unreported, but by teaming up with clinicians and adult protective services workers to give voice to the silent victims, the Securities Division can gather more information to investigate and prosecute those who financially CITY OF SALUDA, NORTH exploit ourCAROLINA seniors,” Secretary Marshall said.

Once upon a time in the magical hamlet of Tryon, strange and wonderful things seemed to happen on a certain stage each July… Suddenly, a young girl wearing a blue dress and white apron finds herself falling down a rabbit hole, of all things, at the Tryon Fine Arts Center! With no help whatsoever from the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, or the Red Queen, young Alice manages to make her way to a desert, where she meets an Aviator and a remarkable Little Prince who came from a planet way out in space to learn how best to care for his flower Rose. Alice suggests the Little Prince have a look in enchanted Narnia for an answer, and points him toward a gigantic wardrobe right in the middle of the stage. The Little Prince climbs inside, makes his way past the winter coats hanging there, and comes out the other side not in Narnia as expected, but in the Shire, of all places, where he is soon surrounded by furry-footed folk called Hobbits.

“How to care for your Rose? Is that your quest?” asks Bilbo Baggins. “Yes, good sir,” replies the Prince. “She is most beloved by me even though she’s very demanding. Do you happen to know any florists or perhaps farmers who could advise me?” “Actually I do,” answers Bilbo. “See that barn over there? And the County Fair beyond? Well, just go ask those folks what to do. Farmers plant all sorts of things, and must have some ideas for roses. Good luck!” So the Little Prince makes his way to a handsome barn which seems to have a huge web hanging from the rafters. Within moments, he finds himself being welcomed by the friendliest pig he has ever met – a happy piglet named Wilbur, and Wilbur’s best friend, a spider named Charlotte. “Hi,” says Wilbur. “So you’ve got a great looking rose, huh? Betcha could enter her at the County Fair and win a Blue Ribbon. She’d like that ‘cause it proves how special she is!”

“Oh, but I left her back on my planet,” says the Little Prince, overcome with concern. “Maybe Wonderland or Narnia or the Shire or Charlotte can take me home in the blink of an eye to fetch her!” And with that, the Little Prince falls backward and vanishes. “I hope he does well,” ventures the always kind Charlotte. “Come now, Wilbur, we have a busy July facing us on that Fine Arts Center stage.” And suddenly director Marianne Carruth wakes with a start! Lions and tigers and bears, oh my: all four of her past summer youth shows have just tumbled into one dream, blending their stories together in the oddest of ways, and delivering her on the doorstep of her 2010 play, “Charlotte’s Web.” E. B. White’s beloved “Charlotte’s Web” will play the Tryon Fine Arts Center July 29 and 30 at 8 p.m. and July 31 through August 1 at 3 p.m. For tickets call 828-859-2466. – article submitted
